We're Back!

Happy Spring Semester! Women In Cinema is back for another great semester.

SOME NEWS:

We're sad to report that Payton is stepping down as Treasurer. She was an amazing asset to the group this last semester and we'll miss dearly. Especially her sly little jokes in officer's meetings. So with that said, we'll be looking for a Treasurer. Nina has become our Secretary since Sarah Deuel slid over into the PR position thus we're looking for a new Audio/Video Technician. If you're interested in becoming an officer and working side by side with Kat Candler and some of the best female film minds of the RTF department please email utwomenincinema[at]gmail[dot]com. Being an officer is a great way to meet a lot of people and get involved.

We will be visiting classes to recruit to be apart of our organization. Be looking for us. We will be talking about what we do and what we have in store for the semester.

In the vein of what we did for Slacker 2011 (if you haven’t seen it already, here is a link to see our scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEXDEBcfVtc), we’ll be making a short film this summer. Must be a member to have a position and be involved. Meetings throughout the semester picking a script, workshopping, test shoots …
